Yes, there's a wage gap for Uber and Lyft drivers based on age, gender and race

Just like the rest of the American workforce, drivers for Uber and Lyft suffer from a wage gap.

The inequity in hourly earnings appears for drivers by gender, race and age, according to a survey from The Rideshare Guy of 1,150 drivers on an email list of 30,000.

We've seen the gig economy wage gap before. A study in 2015 found that older drivers earned about 20 percent less per hour than their younger counterparts. A study in November found that black gig workers on services like TaskRabbit received more negative reviews, and women gig workers were more likely not to be reviewed at all.
